An absolute must-read in a time when we completely lost from view what the Founding Fathers intended this country to be. Dr. Carson is a brilliant man, his arguments are full of common-sense and logic—qualities we have also lost in modern discourse. His personal history and character remind me a lot of one of my favorite authors (also a Black man), Dr. Walter E. Williams. Dr. Carson is a neurosurgeon; he is the Director of Pediatric Neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital and was recognized by President George W. Bush with the “Presidential Medal of Freedom” in 2008. (Incidentally, it is not Mr. Carson, but Dr. Carson: he has a degree in Psychology from Yale University; then went to the University of Michigan Medical School and became a neurosurgeon. Dr. Carson was 33 when he became the youngest physician to ever head a major division at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore.)
